13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
Product Disposal On site disposal of the concentrated product is not acceptable.
Ideally, the product should be used for its intended purpose. If there is a
need to dispose of the product, approach local authorities who hold periodic
collections of unwanted chemicals (ChemClear庐).
Any seed treated with Thiragranz alone not intended for immediate sowing
should be destroyed by burying below 500mm in a disposal pit specifically
marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation
and tree roots.
Container Disposal Thoroughly wash out the inner and add washings to the spray tank. Dispose of
washed inner and cardboard box in landfill.
If not recycling, puncture or shred and bury containers in local authority
